A RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION is a location for equipment where both of the following apply:
• Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and
• Access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
3.4. Power Supply Installation Power Supplies insert into the chassis from the rear. An LED indicator on the front panel of the chassis displays power supply operation. Insert the power supply card in chassis prior to applying power.
3.4.1. RSS-3 The RSS-3 chassis supports one internal power supply installed thru the rear of the chassis, or an external 24VDC power supply can also be used by installing the 24 VDC External Connection Panel item 1930081. Redundant power can be added by connecting an external power supply to the DC power connector provided on the control card using Connector Kit item 1940164. LED indicators on the chassis front panel display the operating status of PS1 or PS2. The PS2 indicator only functions when an external power supply is added for redundancy.
3.4.2. RSS-16 Power Supply Options The RSS-16 can be configured for redundant power by using internal or external power supplies. Two internal power supply cards can be installed in the single slot power supply position in any combination of AC and DC models. The various configurations are shown below. Insert the card into the desired power supply position from the rear of the chassis. PS1 is the top position and PS2 is the bottom position A blank power card panel is included with the chassis when only one of the redundant supplies is installed. This panel should be kept for future use when two supply cards are installed should the need for removal of one of the supplies become necessary.
3.4.3. RSS-3 Power Supply Options The RSS-3 provides one power supply bay any power supply. For redundant power, add the external power supply 1930076. Connection to an external power supply can be made via the 24VDC power input on control cards IOC-3, IPC-1 or IPC-16, or the External 24VDC Connection Panel 1930081.

4. IPC-16-R Control Card
Item # 1340065 Two Control Cards are available for use in the RSS systems; IPC-16-R and IPC-1-R , providing remote access control through network in-band and serial out-of-band circuits. IPC-16-R: Both Ethernet TCP/IP and Serial Connections, Individual and Gang AB card control IPC-1-R: Ethernet TCP/IP, Gang Control Only, WEB Through a web browser interface, you can access the control card, obtain current status information and operate the A/B Switches SNMP The system can be managed by SNMP through standard management software. Dataprobe provides a private MIB. Telnet– IPC-16-R Only Through a telnet client, you can access the control card, obtain current status information and operate the A/B Switches. This is also the method for setting configuration parameters of the card TCP Messaging – IPC-16-R Only A direct TCP messaging protocol is supported for direct computer control of the A/B switching system. Serial – IPC-16-R Only The serial port on the IPC-16-R provides direct terminal access or via modem. The A/B Cards are controlled either by a menu selection or by command line strings (escape code sequences). Menu selections are ideal for easy operator interface and the escape code sequences streamline automated control.
4.1. Dual Control Cards RSS-16 The RSS-16 chassis has two control card slots for supporting either; two IPC-16-R networks control cards, or one IPC-16-R and either the IOC-16-R or IOC-1-R I/O access cards. When two network cards are installed both cards must be configured the same except for individual IP addresses. The user must also control network access to avoid any conflicts in control contention. Each controller provides pulsed control signals to the A/B switch cards. The switch cards will be positioned according to commands from the last network controller or I/O access card used. When a IPC-16-R Network control card and either IOC I/O access card is used, any contact closure externally provided thru the I/O access card will override the network control if the external contact is not momentary.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 11
4.2. IPC-16-R Installation The IPC-16-R Control Card installs from the rear of the chassis in one of the two control card slots only. The slot are on the left (facing the rear), next to the power supply. Two IPC-16-R cards can be installed for redundant remote access. Note: It is recommended that any removal or insertion of a control card be performed with power off to prevent possible unintentional switching of the switch cards. The card provides the following connections: External Power Input. Connection for external power supply, singularly, or as a supplement to an internal supply for dual redundant power. Mating Connector kit # 1940164 Gang Expansion. RJ11 connection for connection to additional chassis for large gang switching applications. Serial Port. RS-232 port for out-of-band access to the IPC-16-R card. Ethernet. Network connection; 10baseT - IPC-16-R,
4.3. Serial Port The Serial Port on the control card is a 9 pin male connector, configured as a DTE. The following pins are used. The following chart illustrates the pin out of the D9 connector and the connection required to an external modem with a D25 pin out.

4.9. Command Line Interface
4.9.1. Initial connection To establish a connection to the system chassis via the network, open a telnet client to the IP address of the system. The session will begin upon connection. To access the system chassis via the serial port, connect a suitable dumb terminal, or system running terminal emulation to the serial port at the proper baud rate and character format. Send <Enter> via the serial port to begin the session.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 13
Upon Connection the system will send the Model, Version and login prompt:
Hello... connected to RSS-16!
Connected to Telnet Session 2
User>
Enter the username. The system will then prompt for a password:
Password>
Enter the password. If successful, the system will send the system level prompt:
RSS-16>
4.9.2. CLI Navigation The system uses a tree structured navigation system. System level, indicated by the RSS-16> prompt set the or display the basic parameters for the IPC-16-R including all network configuration. To access any card level parameters, including the A/B status of the card, select the card with the select card command RSS-16> select card 3 RSS-16.Card 3> The prompt changes to indicate the current card selected. To return to the system level, send the exit command.
4.10. Configuration – IPC-16-R Configuration of the IPC-16-R involves the following steps: • Setting The IPC-16-R's IP Address • Setting additional configuration parameters.
4.10.1. Setting I/P Address The IPC-16-R comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.1.254. In most cases this will need to be changed. Consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropriate IP address. There are several methods to change the IP address. • ARP • Telnet • Serial Port • setip.exe program, available from Dataprobe’s web site To set the IP address, the hardware (MAC) address must be known. This address is located on a label on on the IPC-16-R printed circuit board. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
4.10.2. Setting the IP address using ARP To set the IP address using ARP, connect the jack marked 10Base-T to your local Ethernet network and apply power to the unit. The computer used to set the IP address must be on the same physical network as the IPC-16-R. ARP does not work across switched or routed networks.
4.10.3. Windows (98 and Later) 1. Open a DOS window.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 14
2. Type the following command: arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address> Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the IPC-16-R and the <MAC address> is the MAC Address of the IPC-16-R. The MAC Address is located on a label on the rear panel of the card.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter> |--- new IP addr. ---| |------- MAC addr. ------|
3. Ping the IPC-16-R to program the IP address into the IPC-16-R. Type: ping <IP Address> If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed properly, or the IP or MAC Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the problem persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.
4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing: arp -d <IP Address>
5. Ping the IPC-16-R to confirm that it has been programmed. If the card fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline.
4.10.4. Unix, Linux Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an IP Address using ARP. The unit should be pinged after the IP Address has been set to confirm proper operation.
4.10.5. Setting IP Address with Telnet For initial setup, the computer used must use the same network segment as the default IP Address, or current IP address. (192.168.1.xxx) If this is not the case, use one of the other methods. To connect to the IPC-16-R using telnet, run your telnet client program (provided with your operating system) and connect to the IP address as set in step one above. For Windows: Select Run…Telnet Connect…192.168.1.254 (or the current IP address) As soon as you connect the following message will be displayed:
4.10.6. Setting IP address via Serial Port The serial port uses the same menu sequences as the Telnet method described above. Connect a terminal directly to the IPC-16-R serial port. Send an Enter keystroke to start the session. The serial port default settings are 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit. These setting can also be changed via the menus.
4.10.7. Setting IP Address with setip.exe Utility setip.exe is available from Dataprobe’s website at http://dataprobe.com/support/rss/setip.exe. Download this windows program and run it on any computer on the same physical network segment as the control card. Enter the MAC address and desired IP address and press SetIP.
4.11. Setting other Parameters Via the Serial Port or telnet, all other configuration parameters can be set for the IPC-16-R. These setting are made from the Command Line Interface, as described in the section 4.13 . Some specific settings to consider are: Location Name: Enter a 1-20 character name to identify the system. This name appears at the top of each telnet screen and web page.
Card Setup: This allows setting of parameters for individual A/B cards in the system. Each card can be named, up to 20 characters, and can be enabled or disabled. Disabling a card hides its status from web and telnet screens. This should be used where no card is installed, to make reading the screens easier. Password: A password from 1 to 15 characters is needed for access to the system. Re-enter the old password then enter the new password twice as prompted. Com Port: Set the Baud Rate and Character Format for the serial port. Baud rate choices are 9600, 19200, and 38400. Character format choices are 8N1, 7E1 and 7O1 (databits, parity, stop bit). The Default Serial Port Parameters are 9600, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, One Stop Bit (9600,8,N,1) Escape Response: This selects Yes or No for escape code responses. See section 3.4.3 on escape code control Web Port, Telnet Port, Message Port: These three settings determine the port assignment for the different TCP protocols used to communicate with the control card. Standard port assignments for these protocols are:
WEB: 80 Telnet: 23 Message: 9100 If you change these assignments, you will need to specify them when you connect to the IPC-16-R. For example if the IP address of the IPC-16-R is 192.168.1.254 and you have changed the web port to 8800, then you would need the following URL to access the IPC-16-R: http://192.168.1.254:8800
Note: After changing the IP Address, Web Port, Telnet Port or Com Port parameters, it is necessary to reboot the IPC-16-R Card. Do this by entering selection “System Reset”, item 6 in the System Setup Menu displayed in the CLI during a Telnet session, or momentarily powering Off the power to the chassis power supply. Power cycling the power source to the chassis power supply will insure no unintentional changes in switch positions of any A/B Card in the chassis.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. Set the MTU from 100 to 1024. The default of 1024 should not be changed unless required by network architecture. Read and Write Community Names: These settings are for use with SNMP managers only. Set the names as appropriate for your SNMP configuration. SNMP Managers: Set up to four SNMP managers that will receive SNMP TRAPs. Other SNMP managers will be able to manage the system.
4.12. Operation Remote control of each or all A/B Cards is accomplished using either TCP/IP protocols for Web browser (http) , Telnet, or direct TCP messaging. Each card in the chassis can be operated independently, or all 16 A/B cards can be operated simultaneously. In all cases, switch control is password protected.

4.15. SNMP Manager Control The IPC-16-R allows for management via SNMP. The private MIB is available from the Dataprobe Web Site at: http://dataprobe.com/support-rss-series-welcome/ MIB Outline and MIB Definitions can be found in Section 9
4.16. Escape Sequence Control The IPC-16-R can be controlled via command line messages sent either over the serial port or using TCP messaging over the Ethernet port. This allows streamlined communication between the IPC-16-R and network management systems or computer based monitor and control systems. Programming support is available. Contact Dataprobe Applications Engineering.
4.16.1. Making Connection via Ethernet and Serial The IPC-16-R uses the TCP (Transport Communication Protocol) to communicate with the client PC. To use the IPC-16-R , establish a TCP connection (Stream Socket) to the IPC-16-R. Be sure to use the Port assigned to the IPC-16-R , either Port 9100 or the port assigned through the Setup Menus. Once connected use the Send() function to send the commands to the IPC-16-R and the Recv() function to receive the IPC-16-R ’s response. For the serial port of the IPC-16-R, connection via the serial port requires only setting the computer to the proper baud rate and character format.
4.16.2. Command Syntax
<esc><password><^a><card><^b><command><cr>
Where: esc = The ASCII escape character (0x1b) password = The IPC-16-R password in ASCII (case sensitive) ^a = The ASCII control 'a' character (0x01) card = The number of the card to be changed, with or with out leading 0's (a or A = all)\ ^b = The ASCII control 'b' character (0x02) command = The command to be executed: a or A - Switch selected card to A b or B - Switch selected card to B q or Q - Display the status of the selected card cr = The ASCII Carriage Return (0x0d) The < and > in the syntax above are only to delineate the control characters and should not be sent. Example: To switch card 7 to B send <esc>PASS<^a>7<^b>B<cr>
4.16.3. Response Syntax The syntax for the command response is. <card><status><cr> Example: 01A card = The number of the card. status = The status of the card either A, or B. cr = The ASCII carriage return character
If the queried card has been disabled then no response will be transmited. In response to the Query All command, 16 response messages will be sent. All invalid commands will be ignored. No response even when responses are enabled.

5. IPC-1-R Network Gang Control Card
Item # 1340066 The IPC-1-R Control Card installs from the rear of the chassis in the 2nd control card slot only. This is the third slot on the left (facing the rear), next to the power supply. The physical size of the IPC-1-R components require 2 slots. Note: It is recommended that any removal or insertion of a control card be performed with power off to prevent possible unintentional switching of the switch cards. The card provides the following connections: External Power Input. Connection for external power supply, singularly, or as a supplement to an internal supply for dual redundant power. Mating Connector kit # 1940164 Gang Expansion. RJ11 connection for connection to additional chassiss for large gang switching applications. Ethernet. 10/100base-T Network connection
5.1. IPC-1-R Configuration
5.1.1. Setting I/P Address IPC-1-R comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.1.254 you may need to change this address. Consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropriate IP address. The IP address can be set in any of four ways: • Web Browser via the Set-up Page • Automatically from a DHCP Server • ARP-Ping • Dataprobe setip.exe utility 1. Setting the IP address using Web Browser Access the IPC-1-R with the administrator credentials and select Setup, then IP. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway. For initial setup the computer accessing the IPC-1-R needs to be on the same subnet as the IPC-1-R (have a 192.168.1.xx address) To lock the settings, select the IP Mode: Static. This prevents additional changes to be made with either DHCP or ARP. Click Apply and then a Reboot button will appear. Click to Reboot. The new changes will take effect after reboot. 2. Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the IPC-1-R. If you power up IPC-1-R with the IP Mode set to DHCP, the server will be able to assign an IP address. Once an IP address is assigned, you must check with the DHCP server to see what address is
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 26
assigned to IPC-1-R. Once the assignment is made, you can lock the settings, by accessing the IP setup page and selecting the IP Mode: Static. This prevents additional changes to be made with either DHCP or ARP-Ping.
To enable DHCP, access the Setup web page, then IP settings and select Mode DHCP. A reboot is required. 3. Setting the IP address using ARP-Ping To set the IP address using ARP, connect the ethernet connection to your network and apply power to IPC-1-R. Using ARP you use a computer to set the IP address. The IP address assigned to IPC-1-R must be use the same network segment as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across routed or switched networks. For security purposes, ARP-Ping will only work within the first two minutes of powering up the IPC-1-R. To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address is used. This address is located on the bottom of the unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
Windows Open a DOS window. 1. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address> Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the IPC-1-R and the <MAC address> is the MAC Address of the IPC-1-R. The MAC Address of the IPC-1-R is located on bottom of the unit.
Example: arp -s 192.168.7.203 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter> |--- new IP addr. --| |------ MAC addr. ------|
2. Ping the IPC-1-R to program the IP address into the IPC-1-R by typing:
ping <IP Address> If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed properly, or the IP Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the problem persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.
3. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing: arp -d <IP Address>
4. Ping the IPC-1-R (repeat step 2) to confirm that it has been programmed properly.
If the IPC-1-R fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline. To lock the settings, select the IP Mode: Static. This prevents additional changes to be made with either DHCP or ARP-Ping.
5.1.2. Setting the IP address setip.exe Dataprobe provides a utility program to streamline the setting of the IP address. This program duplicates the steps used in the ARP-Ping method above. Download this program at http://dataprobe.com/files/control/setip.exe. This windows program is self extracting file with the program and help file. The setip.exe program must be run from the same subnet as the IPC-1-R. As with ARP-Ping, the program must be run within 2 minutes of powering up the IPC-1-R.
5.2. Web Browser Operation 5.2.1. Password Protection:
IPC-1-R uses two passwords, one for normal use and one that also provides access to the setup functions. From the factory, both are set the same. Open your browser and access IPC-1-R by entering the default (192.168.1.254) or current IP address into your browser's Address window. Enter the default administrator username and password, or your username and password if it has been changed. Default Usernames: admin user Default Passwords: admin user IPC-1-R also uses an inactivity timer for security. When there is no activity for 2 minutes, the connection is closed and the password will need to be entered again for access.
5.2.2. Main Screen Once the password is entered, the following page is displayed.
To control the switch, click on the appropriate button. The names displayed for the A and B status as well as the names of the appropriate switch control buttons can be changed through the Setup. Use the Refresh link to obtain the latest status of IPC-1-R. Using your browser's refresh button can lead to inadvertent switching.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 28
When you are finished with IPC-1-R, click on Logout. A confirmation page will be displayed. If you close your browser windows without first clicking Logout, there will be a two minute delay before you can re-access IPC-1-R. IPC-1-R will automatically time out if there is no activity for two minutes. This is to prevent accidental lockout by leaving the browser open. If the Auto-Ping feature is in use, this page will also display its status, OK or Triggered, and the number of times it has been triggered. OK indicates that the IP address being pinged is responding. It will display Triggered to indicate that it has is not receiving a response to the pings, and has performed its programmed switching function. The Trigger Count indicates the number of times the IPC-1-R has been triggered. This counter can be reset with a button on the page.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 29
5.3. Setup Page The setup page consists of several sections. Each time a setting is changed click on the Apply button for that section to save the changes in IPC-1-R.
Device Set the name that displays on the top of the Home Page as well as the Status Name for the A and B switch positions.

RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 30
Device Device Name: Set the name to be displayed on the top of each web page. 20 Character Max. Status Name: Set the name displayed for the A and B switch status. 20 Character Max. IP IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway: Enter these values as provided by your network administrator. IP Mode: Select the mode of acquiring the IP address.
Static Mode: Locks the IP address as shown above. When the IP number is Static, it can not be changed by DHCP or ARP-PING methods. If the IP number is forgotten, use the IP-AB recovery tool. See Troubleshooting.
DHCP Mode: Allows a DHCP server to assign IP address APR-PING Mode: Allows setting of the IP address via ARP/Ping method or using the ipset.exe utility.
HTTP Port: To access IPC-1-R on a port other than the Web standard 80. If the port is changed, you will need to identify the port number when you enter IPC-1-R's IP address into your browser: if the new port is 9100 then use http://192.168.1.254:9100 to access IPC-1-R. Dataprobe recommends changing of the port from the default 80 to reduce the number of attacks from hackers. SSL: The IPC-1-R can use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the username/password and data between the browser and the switch. This is set Enabled by default. Disabling SSL will increase the response of the unit. Once you click Apply for any changes in this section, a reboot of the unit is required. A Reboot button will appear on the bottom of the page. This will automatically reboot the IPC-1-R and redirect the browser to the new address/port AutoPing This page sets the unit for automatic operation. AutoPing monitors one or two IP addresses and switches the IPC-1-R based on the response or lack of response to the ping requests. See the section below on AutoPing for complete details. SNMP SNMP Manager IP Address: Set the IP address of up to four SNMP managers that can send configuration information and receive Traps from the IPC-1-R Enable: Enable or Disable SNMP and set the actions that send Traps to the SNMP managers. Passwords Set the username and password for the Administrator and User functions. The Administrator has access to all setup and operational functions. The User can view and change the status of the A/B switch, and reset the AutoPing trigger count only. The Setup button is not visible to the User. Enter the new username and password. If the passwords are lost, see Troubleshooting. E-Mail E-mail Services: Set the email parameters for generating email alerts to various activities. Set the POP and SMTP server IP addresses, the Mail From and Mail To addresses as well as the username and password for the SMTP and POP servers. Notification Enable: Enable or Disable the e-mail generation for SNMP activities and switch changes via Web, AutoPing and from the manual toggle switch. Update This screen provides access to loading new operating software into the IPC-1-R. Follow the instructions on the screen to browse to a software file, load, install and reboot the IPC-1-R.
RSS_v180808n RSS Series Page 31
5.4. AutoPing AutoPing allows the IPC-1-R to monitor one or two network attached devices and automatically switch based on the availability of these devices. Ping Address: Enter the IP address of the device(s) to be pinged. Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often. Fail Counter: 1 to 99. This is the number of times the ping does not get a response before the IPC-1-R takes action. Action: select from:

8.2. Installation
8.2.1. RSS-16 Install A/B Switch cards starting from card slot #1 which is on the right side of the rear of the RSS-16 chassis. Up to 16 switch cards can be installed. Some interfaces take up two slots and assume the lower slot position number in the control interfaces. Install each card with the components facing left. The chassis connectors and cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Cards may be inserted and removed with the power on (hot insertion/removal). Cards are secured in chassis with screws at the top and bottom of each panel. Cables for the Common, A & B circuits are attached to the rear. Interface diagrams with wiring information are shown on the following pages.
8.2.2. RSS-3 Install A/B Switch cards starting from card slot 1 which is the upper right side of the rear of the RSS-16 chassis. Slot 2 is just below slot 2, and slot 3 is to the left of slot1. A control card or IO access card is installed in slot 4 below the third switch card. Install each card into the guide slots with the components facing upwards. The chassis and cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Cards may be inserted and removed with the power on (hot insertion/removal). Cards are secured in chassis with screws at right and left of each panel. Cables for the Common, A & B circuits are attached to the rear. Interface diagrams with wiring information are shown on the following pages.
8.3. Configuration Each Basic A/B switch card can be setup for individual operation or part of a group for gang control which operate simultaneously. Certain model cards provide jumpers for selecting if all interface leads are to be switched or if specific leads are non-switched ,connected together or tied to signal or frame ground. See details under the specific switch card interface.
8.3.1. Gang or Individual Control. Jumper selections on each A/B card select individual or gang switching. Jumpers are located near the card edge fingers of each board. A/B Switch cards are factory set for both Gang and Individual Control. GANG A and B provide for Gang Operation. COIL A and B for Individual Control. Remove these jumpers to prevent one or the other type of switching. For example, to prevent one specific card to being part of the Gang, remove the GANG A and GANG B jumpers from that card. The positions for CTL A and CTL B are for special applications only. Do not move the jumpers into those positions unless specifically instructed to by Dataprobe Technical Support.
